The show, a bene-- fit to finance future Council assembly programs, was the first such venture ever at- tempted under its auspices. XVith the cast made up entirely of students selected after tryouts for various acts, the per- formance was an excellent opportunity to bring out much of the talent available within the walls of high school. WILLIAM EDWARDS William Edwards fsee cutj, president of the Student Council, reigned as Master of Ceremonies and introduced the various acts. On the program were the following groups and individuals: Varsity Club orchestra, selections, Richard Kaszyca, accordianist, Dorothy Claus soloist, in two songs and monologue, Clifford Swartz and Howard Steele, trumpet duet, An- tonette Capicotto, vocal soloist, Gordon Shahin, baton act, David Gleason, trombonist, Marie Fal- setti, tap dancer, Helen Walezak, pianist, in an original composition, Alice Weglicki and Patricia Davidson, piano duet, Marilyn Seymour, toe dancer, John Demas, violinist, Constance Morell, soloist in two songs, and Marjorie Thompson, monologue. The committee assisting Bill Edwards consisted of Mr. Mark R.

Jean is the first girl in ten years to have been elected president of the Senior Class. In April, she was presented with a silver loving cup by the Niagara Falls junior Chamber of Commerce for her prize-winning essay on What Americanism Means to Mei, Jean read her composition over Radio Station WHLD when the contest award, sponsored by the chamber, was made.

She is also the first girl ever to have held both positions. 0 0 0 YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH Y OU, the three- act comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, had the audience in hilarious uproar on Thursday evening, March 13, when it was presented by the Senior Class of 1941 in the high school audi- torium to a packed house. The play deals with the life of the Sycamore family, their peculiar friends, and their serv- ants. Barbara Kelly, in her portrayal of Rheba, the BARBARA KELLY colored maid, literally stole the scene every time she appeared on stage. Arthur Boucher played the part of Donald, her boy friend, and their antics had the audience in continuous laughter. The two Russians enacted by Edmund Rice and Ruth Con- fer brought added laughs. Others in the fine cast were, Gretchen Heyroth, William Edwards, Beverly.Rogers, Betty Hunter, Anthony Marcolini, Charles Woodward, Edward Fairchild, Vincent DelBrocco, Harry DeBan, Melvyn Berman, Barbara Wernlund, John Watson and Roman Figler.

Possibly one of the greatest possessions of youth today is a democratic spirit and faith in one's country.
